We compared arterial stiffness after glucose intake in active and inactive elderly people with impaired glucose tolerance and clarified whether physical activity was associated with arterial stiffness after ingestion of glucose. Twenty older adults with impaired glucose tolerance were analyzed in a cross-sectional design. Based on the international physical activity questionnaire, participants were divided into the active group (daily step count: 10,175.9 +/- 837.8 steps/day, n = 10) or the inactive group (daily step count: 4,125.6 +/- 485.9 steps/day, n = 10). Brachial-ankle (systemic) and heart-brachial (aortic) pulse wave velocity and cardio-ankle vascular index (systemic) were increased at 30, 60, and 90 min compared to baseline after a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test in the inactive but not the active group. Heart-brachial pulse wave velocity did not change compared to baseline after a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test in either group. The area under the curve for brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was associated with daily living activity (r = -0.577, p = 0.008), daily step activity (r = 0.546, p = 0.013), and the daily step count (r = -0.797, p = 0.0001). The present findings indicate that physical activity or inactivity is associated with arterial stiffness following glucose ingestion.
